Description
"Brothel Sign In Pompeii" by Debbie Oppermann. It was quite exciting to visit the ruins of Pompeii in Italy. To see how the people lived so many centuries before us was an amazing experience and to discover that the brothels were so important that they had stone phallic symbols not only at the brothel houses but on the roads to direct patrons to the houses of pleasure. The ruins of the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, which was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, is located near modern Naples in Italy. Buried under tons of ash, the city was lost for about 1,500 years until its initial rediscovery in 1599. When the site was excavated, starting from the middle of the 18th century, archaeologists discovered hundreds of buildings including brothels. Pompeii Italy is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
